A video clip that has gone viral on the social media, appears to show Senate President, Bukola Saraki ignoring National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at Rotimi Akeredolu’s inauguration as Ondo State Governor on Friday
Saraki can be seen in the short clip greeting dignataries beside Tinubu, as the former Lagos State Governor looked on surprised that his presence was not acknowleged.
As the Senate President made to walk away, Tinubu can be heard calling “Bukky!”.
Saraki eventually shook hands with him briefly and quickly moved on.
Apparently refuting report that he was behind Saraki’s ordeal, Tinubu in the video uploaded by SaharaReporters said, : “You don’t have to respond to everything. It is part of politics. Media will do their own and we will do our own”.
Both political heavyweights have been at loggerheads since APC won the 2015 general election that ushered in the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Their differences began after Saraki defied the leadership of the APC in his pursuit to lead the Senate.
